After Europe, Tesla has both raised Supercharger pricing and narrowed off-peak hour windows in California. Citing energy costs in the Sunshine State, Tesla increased Supercharger pricing to $0.65 per kWh at 'select' locations, hitting parity with a gas car consumption at US$6 a gallon. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Tesla-charging-costs-equal-fueling-of-gas-vehicles-in-California-as-it-raises-Supercharger-prices-and-limits-off-peak-hours.658607.0.html
So... Charge at home. It's not like Americans don't always have a place at home to park their Tesla at night.
*The Sunshine State is Florida.

Not everyone lives in a house with a driveway. In bigger cities like in the NYC area even owning a house doesn't guarantee a driveway. And running 1500 feet of extension cord out the window isn't an option.
What about road taxes on the electricity used for transportation? Is there additional tax on the registration in California for EVs?
My last fast charging station in San diego was with electrify America and was .31 per kWh with a subscription. Evgo also has lower subscription prices but does pass on the savings for charging on off peak or peak times. Guess TSLA is trying to make up for all the freebies they gave away
More proof EV are still for the rich with a garage to park the car in and a charger they can plug into during off peak hours.

To Parkcityite:
I'm proof EV's aren't only for the rich, on the contrary, I live in a rural desert town, (in California for reference) and charge my 2018 USED hybrid in the garage of my home I bought back in 2011. Just gotta know how and when to spend your money. HA! Rich, wouldn't that be nice though?! Unless hybrids aren't considered EV's? I don't know if they are or not, I'm just a sheltered country mouse for the most part. If hybrid vehicles aren't considered EV's I contract my statement. After all, I am just a ☀️🏜🐀!😆

Here in always spendy England, my local charger just put the price up from 66p kWh to £1. About $1.20? Not sure how the pound is doing today.
